 Blocked drains whether it’s a blocked sewer line or a blocked storm water pipe can be one of the most frustrating and inconvenient not to mention one of the most costly plumbing problems you can have at your home. Unfortunately tree roots in the sewer line are an indication of damaged plumbing pipes and become an ongoing problem you could do without.

  The only permanent solution is complete replacement of your old earthenware plumbing pipes with new pvc plumbing pipes, but if you don’t want to go to all the trouble of replacing you old sewer pipes, Call The Plumber Sydney has several cost effective options to keep your sewer line clear and free flowing. Regular maintenance using high pressure water blasters are the latest technology in combating all but the most severe tree root blockage.

Drain cleaning equipment is designed so that it does not damage your sewer lines if they are in good condition, however if your old earthenware pipes are in poor condition any drain cleaning equipment can become stuck in the severely damaged section, or in extreme cases the removal or the tree root blockage binding the damaged pipe work together can cause the already damaged pipe work to collapse further resulting in excavation and replacement.

Unfortunately this is a catch 22 situation, your drain is blocked and needs to be cleared, and it’s full of sewerage so a drain camera cannot be used to access the condition of the pipe because it can’t see through the sewer water. So the plumber has a dilemma, he has to put his equipment down the drain in good faith, not knowing the severity of the problem. Nine times out of ten the line can be cleared but occasionally excavation is required.

Sometimes both the water jetter and the electric eel are required to be used in conjunction to defeat the most stubborn of tree root infestations. Drastic measures this may be but when you have guests over and there is raw sewerage overflowing in the back yard you’ll be glad you Called The Plumber. The advent of Drain cameras have been a god sent to the Plumbing Professional and home owner. This piece of high-tec equipment is used to take all of the guess work out of drain cleaning. Every nook and cranny can be thoroughly explored using cctv and a complete video diagnosis can be supplied to determine the best course of action required, not only that we can use our pipe tracing equipment to locate the camera head and find the exact location and cause of the blocked sewer pipe.

The locating equipment will give us the exact location and depth of the sewer line so we can provide you with an accurate quote to excavate and replace the tree root infested area. One of the latest developments in the fight against tree roots has been Chemical treatments. Products like Sanafoam Vaporooter II and Rootx are the latest tree root control programs to be introduced into Australia.

 If you have large concreted areas or prize winning landscaped gardens that you couldn’t bear to dig up and destroy there are now options available to suit these situations and save thousands in restoration costs after the excavation and sewer replacement have been completed. The Re lining of sewer lines and stormwater lines have become increasing popular with several large companies starting up the Sydney area to service this demand for continuous pipe re lining. The process is still costly and has its pros and cons but compared to other alternatives, in some situations that arise, drain re lining can be a cost effective alternative.
